Sponsorship
So every child has a chance
Since 2017, Sheer Love Rwanda reintegrates Rwandan street children into their local community, gives them a family, and provides them hope. With the help of generous sponsors like you, we're creating a greater impact every day. Make a difference by sponsoring a SLR student.
Sponsorship is one of the most impactful ways you can help fight poverty and ensure a child’s success. Sponsorship improves a Rwandan child's access to clean water, food, health care, education, and personal mentorship all for only 100USD per month. It’s not just powerful, it’s personal.
